i bought this car about two months ago and it is a dream, of course i'm coming off of driving a 1971 VW Beetle, so it could just be me. I love the ease of engine mods (I've already snaked on a cold air intake and custom made straight pipe exhaust) Interior is clean and all the features work perfect, I wish it had disk brakes all around though

The car has a stiff feel when you drive it. The steering wheel and car respond well to each other, but the connection feels stiff. The power of this 4 cylinder surprised me. It is fuel injected and has eight spark plugs to burn the fuel well. the interior material is cheap to say the least, and the dash is Spartan and has NO frills. I guess you might say it reminds you of cars of the past like the Nash Rambler. It could have been a great car, but Ford got cheap like all US manufacturers and stiffed buyers to the max. Too bad, this car is fun to drive and I like it anyway. I have the LX convertible.
